Benefits of technology

The invention proposes a method to prevent oxidation of steel sheets during the continuous annealing process. This is achieved by deliberately exposing the steel sheet to an oxidizing atmosphere in the cooling zone, which usually holds a reducing atmosphere. This process oxidizes the surface of the steel sheet, picks off any oxide film and iron oxide film through pickling, resulting in high-strength cold-rolled steel sheets that are excellent in chemical convertibility, even if the contents of certain elements such as silicon, manganese, etc., are high.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, to remove the residual Si or Mn oxide film, the practice has been to strengthen the pickling of the sheet when leaving the annealing furnace, specifically, to lower the running rate from 100 mpm to 30 mpm and to raise the pickling temperature from 70° C. to 80° C., but the Si or Mn oxide film continued to remain and “bald spots” remained and became a problem in chemical conversion.
Even if securing enough dipping time in the pickling tank, it is not possible to expect any great recovery in the running rate due to the “bald spots” remaining.
Further, there were major problems such as the costs of the facilities or the installation space.

[0101]The inventors used four types of high strength steel sheet of the steel types A to D to run tests. The annealing was all carried out using a continuous annealing furnace under common conditions of annealing conditions (85° C.-60 sec, 10% hydrogen-bal. nitrogen, dew point-40° C.) and gas cooling conditions (5% hydrogen-bal. nitrogen, dew point-60° C.). Further, the oxidation conditions, pickling conditions, and plating conditions are summarized in Table 1.
